Product Description
Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) acetate, propionate, and butyrate are the end products of anaerobic bacteria break down of carbohydrates in the colon. They may be paying us back, like rent, for providing them with a secure haven in the colon by producing butyrate. The process is basically fermentation and is an important function of the large bowel. Butyrate is manufactured by many of the normal microflora out of fully digested vegetable fiber and appears to be the number one fuel for the cells that line the colon. The production and absorption of SCFAs are closely related to the nourishment of colonic mucosa with a considerable amount of energy as a byproduct derived from carbohydrate break down. Butyrate is readily metabolized by our colonocytes, is easily absorbed by intestine, stimulates sodium and water absorption in the colon, and is critical to the intestinal mucosa. Butyrate has been demonstrated clinically to be useful in sequestering and controlling ammonia in hyperammonemia as in patients with seizure disorders, brain fog and stroke. Rudolfo Brenner has proposed that butyrate clears the liver of renegade fatty acids (odd and very long chain FA) and is a primary adjunct in states of toxicity.
